Large numbers
For learners who have difficulty with place value, get them to prepare a number chart.
Recommend that numbers are broken up using commas or spaces.
Use zeros to build larger numbers.

Checking techniques
To improve understanding of rounding, use money in examples.
Linking estimation and rounding helps learners grasp rounding principles.
A discussion is a good way of introducing inverse operations.

BODMAS continued
Asking learners to work out calculations and then comparing answers can be used to introduce BODMAS.
Have a competition, with one group using a calculator and the other group using pen and paper.
